The Jews are just a warm-up. Many people have made this observation, but this is a nice data point: earlier this year, Minnesota’s legislature enacted a statute that requires “Ethnic Studies” to be incorporated into every single class from kindergarten through 12th grade. Including math and biology.
And Minnesota is not alone. The “Ethnic Studies” dodge started in California, but it is expanding across the country. And “Ethnic Studies” is just one arrow in the Left’s quiver. The teachers’ unions have converted our public schools into anti-American propaganda centers, and this was well underway long before “Ethnic Studies” came along.
So, the godfather of Ethnic Studies is Brian Lozenski, a far-left professor at Macalester College. He is a member of the Board of the Education For Liberation Network. He has written a great deal about “liberation” education, but this quote is enough for present purposes. Leftists do not make a secret of the fact that their attack on Israel is taking place side by side with, and part and parcel of, their assault on the real target–the United States:
Given the devastating impact of Israeli colonialism on the lives of people across the Arab region, Palestine is a central issue for Arab students; studying Israeli settler colonialism in comparison to US settler colonialism is illuminating for all students, and at the heart of the discipline of Ethnic Studies.
Yes, that is the point. “Settler colonialism,” an idiotic doctrine, is mostly intended to make the our country illegitimate.
There’s nothing new about this. We had an Asian Studies course when I was in high school in the 70s. It was eye opening to me, to learn a little about other ways of thinking and believing, and the art and history of other parts of the world. (I was always interested in religion and art.)
Even years before that, we learned a lot about Spain, Mexico and Central/South America, just while taking Spanish.
The problem comes when they politicize it. That wasn’t happening back then.
And people wonder why elite Republicans seem to be so ineffective against this stuff.

It’s all part of the plan to turn our country into a commie banana republic.

Bush strikes, again ping.
Math and Biology are studies of what is.
Ethnic studies are studies of bullshit.
Hell, they aren’t even studies.
They are the product of folks so very stupid that true academics are to them as calculus is to a slime mold.
Your last paragraph. Bingo!!!
i seem to remember something about First they came for the
Jews...
They have been coming for me since the late 1980s....
This is why the 19th should be repealed.
What unites The US & Israel?
The same forces say both the US and Israel are on stolen land with no right to exist.
The democrats are labeling all Isrealies as white europeans now.
We share the same enemies.
What happens to Israel happens to us.
I’m sorry, but that strikes me as a very stupid remark.
I guess you think that the people who translated the Bible into English and other languages (which had to be done by taking into consideration a cultural context), those who figured out the Rosetta Stone, and any number of other accomplishments that have contributed greatly to civilization, were just ‘slime mold’.
Not everything that matters comes down to numbers. People, and the way they grow and develop within their environments, are what really create the fate of the world.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
are muslims colonisers?
how did islam become dominant in 57 countries?
they colonized Spain for 500 years
they colonized India
this class would be fun
The Jews thrown out of the Arab countries in the 1940s and 1950s comprise two thirds of Israeli Jews. The amount of land confiscated from the Jews by the Arab countries comes to five times the size of Israel. Talk about land stealing!

I intend to make them welcome when they come after me. If I am still around by then.
Israel should have held on to all the land they won after their wars (1968? and early 1970’s?). The middle of the Sinai would have been a great place to move the folks in the Gaza Strip to.
Filling kids heads with information before teaching them how to think (i.e., discern fact from fiction) is a great way to indoctrinate them.
That's why the Woke/Marxist educators hate math and science.
